1. A special Hearth & Hand edition of the beloved KitchenAid stand mixer, which will blend your love of the farmhouse style with a top-notch kitchen appliance. Also blended? The many doughs and batters you're going to make.
2. A hand-lettered stoneware spoon rest that not only gives total "wow they must really know what they're doing in the kitchen" vibes, but also helps keep those Sunday sauce stains off your countertops.
3. A SimpleHuman compost bin, because taking care of Mother Earth makes you feel good — and this sleek stainless-steel caddy will actually look good in your home, too. It's stylish enough to keep on the counter!
4. A clear organizing bin for your fridge or your pantry, so you can have the home you always imagined: extremely tidy and with a rainbow of snacks organized by color.
5. A salad spinner that will get all your fruits and veggies dry in a flash, significantly increasing the chance that they won't just wilt away in your refrigerator. You had BIG plans for all those greens... time to use them!
6. A six-pack of wireless, remote-controlled puck lights you can install all over the house to really shine a spotlight on your home improvement skills. Design tip: Stick these in a sconce or light fixture if you want to add brightness to a room without dealing with electrical wiring.
7. A 12-pack of glass spice jars, because while variety might be the ~spice of life,~ these uniform spice jars are the key to a super cute and organized kitchen.
8. An oven thermometer so you can get a sense of your oven's actual temperature while you cook and bake (but also no longer have the excuse that it was your oven's fault everything burned).
9. A 10-piece Cuisinart stainless-steel cookware set that will upgrade your hodge-podge collection of pots and pans and set you on your path to becoming a Top Chef (or just a really great home cook!).
10. And a wall-mounted pot rack to display your new matching set of pots and pans but also just make you look LEGIT.
11. A 10-piece set of glass food storage containers because those old tomato-stained plastic ones just aren't the look you're going for anymore.
12. A nonslip acacia wood serving and cutting board so you can show off your fancy new knife skills knowing the only thing that will get sliced is those veggies (and not your hands!).
13. A stainless-steel, hands-free step trash can that not only gets the job done but is actually surprisingly chic for something that, ya know, holds garbage.
14. An expandable bamboo spice rack because showing off your herbs and spices — and therefore your impressive palate — is a pretty great flex.
15. A bakeware rack so your pots and pans don't sound like the percussion section of a middle school band each time you reach for a muffin tin. No disrespect to you and your classmates — you all were great.
16. A stoneware baking dish, which by itself looks pretty great on a table but when you add a home-cooked meal to it? Whew, she's a real beaut.
17. An extremely stylish kitchen mat that will brighten up your space, protect your floor from water sloshes, and — if you can believe it — make doing dishes much more enjoyable by giving your feet something soft to stand on.
18. A drawer utensil organizer because the battle with the potato masher that's been jamming the drawer is getting a liiiiiiiittle old.
19. A hard-working, multi-tasking Scrub Mommy sponge you can use to tackle even the toughest dishes — and leave you both smiling at the end.
20. A small-but-mighty Ninja food processor to quite literally chop your food prep time in half — and can then go right into the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
21. A 10-piece wood and silicone kitchen tool set that will, among other things, introduce you to the MVP of all kitchen tools: the spoonula. You will use it for EVERYTHING.
22. A kitchen scale, which is every baker's secret to not using up every measuring cup and mixing bowl. Once you start using weighted measurements, you'll never go back to the old way.
23. A 15-piece knife block set because it's a cut above the rest and will make mise en place a breeze.
24. A five-pack of classic striped kitchen towels you'll want to always have on hand and in hand so your messes don't get, uhhh, out of hand.
25. A cotton-striped table runner that will turn your kitchen table into your favorite dining spot. The striped design hits the sweet spot of homey but elevated. You can dress it up or keep it casual!
